D October 27, 2012 for Model Number MDB4651AWW Our latch on the door broke. The plastic that holds the metal pins on the latch broke away and it appears maybe from what holds it to the control panel. Does that sound right? So I would need the latch and the control panel?
1 Answer Hello D, take a look at this latch and handle assembly W10862259 and if you don't see the broken parts you need, you may need the control panel also 6-919818. Hope this helps! Read More...

Karen October 21, 2012 for Model Number MDBM601AWW Door latch is broken. The door panel looks like it can come off in 2 pieces. Can I complete this job by taking off just the upper (Plastic) part of the door panel? Does the whole door panel have to come off? Can just the upper part of the door or is it one piece?
1 Answer Hi. Open the inner door and remove the inner door panel screws. No need to remove the outer door panel. Look on the inside of the control panel part # 6-919819 and see if the 2 - " V " shaped latch pivot points that support the latch part # WPW10130695 have broken and now are laying in the bottom of the inner door panel. Then remove the lower rack and lower kick panel. Make sure all 4 legs are sung on the floor and using a torpedo level that the unit is level front to back and side to side so it does not break again. Thank You. Read More...
John F. October 11, 2012 for Model Number MDB6601AWQ The handle on the dishwasher is very loose but still opens with some difficulty. The washer still operates flawlessly. I believe I need a new door latch assembly. Is part #AP4263144 what I need? Any other suggestions for troubleshooting would be appreciated. Thanks.
1 Answer Hi. Open the inner door panel. Look inside the back side of the control panel part # 6-919822 to see if the door latch female pivot points are broken and laying on the inside of the outer door bottom. This will make the door latch part # WPW10130695 loose. This is mainly caused by initial installation of the unit not being proper. Remove the lower kick plate and see if all 4-legs are snug against the floor. Correct this issue by following the installing instructions provided with the unit. So the latch and body is level and do not bind and break again. Thank You. Read More...
